    You Might Be A Scrapper IF...

    Idea I got off a different forum:
    Anyway, You Might Be A Scrapper If: (YMBASI):
    YMBASI:

    -Your landlord confuses you with a "hoarder" (but you're not because everything is for sale/changing constantly)

    -You can tell fairly close exactly how much weight is in your truck based on the level of the hood driving, and the position of the wheels under the bed.

    -You see a muffler on the road and your buddy is driving and you tell him to "stop, pull-over"

    -You enter a shopping center and drive around back first.

    -Your neighbors drop metal into your truck bed while your sleeping.

    -People ask you what you do? and you have to think a moment or say "handyman"

    -You worry about parking your truck in front on trash day because the trash men might get angry you take all their good stuff (I know the hours, and avoid parking then)

    I have a bunch more but my head is blank right now...

    You might be a scrapper if - you have ever dropped your cell phone, glasses or keys in a dumpster and had to fish them out from the very bottom.
    This happened to me recently. Lol - but not too funny at the time!

    When you tell work you need to go down to 32 hours a week from 40 hours because you need more time to scrap. They laughed at that and said its not a job its a hobby. I took that as an insault. Shows what they know
